Marriages are made in heaven but it all comes down to the initiative you take. For people who are looking for a life partner overseas or in their country, matrimonial sites come as saviors. Just create a matrimonial profile, search as per your preferences, find a person, get to know each other and make a decision to marry him/her. As simple as it sounds, creating an impressive matrimony profile is equally important. In this guide, we give ideas on
how to create a remarkable profile to find your partner easily.
Online matrimonial sites are user-friendly and can be accessed by anyone. There are a lot of features that attract both the youth and their parents. For instance, safe and secure payment, privacy options, verification, etc. are some of the factors that appeal to both the prospects and their parents. This also ensures that the website in use is trustworthy as they have managed to not let this platform be a dating site. It also shows that the website holds utmost respect in the sanctity of marriage and does not let anyone misuse it in any way.
Still, one also has to take care of how a profile should look to find their perfect match and fulfil all the requirements one looks for in his/her future life partner. Here are some of the tips to create an impressive matrimony profile.
1. Provide honest information.
The first and foremost rule is to provide honest, correct, and complete information. Giving wrong information can get “interests” from another person but, it is the authenticity of information that will help you find the perfect match.
2. Proper Profile Picture.
Pictures are a must as they constitute the most crucial part of matrimonial profiles. Photos create an impression that will attract prospects. Upload as many pictures as you can so that the other person can get to know your personality and importantly how you look. Make sure to upload genuine, real pictures and not group pictures or morphed/photoshopped pictures. The background of your home or office also creates a trust factor. Also, use recent pictures. Never use outdated pictures or old photographs, say 5-10 years before.
3. Make sure your profile is well-detailed.
The bigger the profile, the higher the chances of getting interests. Add all essential details of yourself including links to your social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc.) as it amounts to authenticity when any prospect goes through your profiles to know you better.
4. Don’t be self-centered.
Even though a matrimonial profile is all about you, don’t be too specific about it. For instance, while creating a Muslim matrimonial profile, don’t dwell too much about the cultural aspects, even if you are looking for a Muslim bride or groom. Be flexible so that the opposite person initiates a conversation with you. As it is a global platform, make sure you leave scope for interaction with other people.
5. Mention family background.
This is one vital element you must include in your matrimonial profile. Matrimonial sites are NOT a dating site and hence must include information about your family, what they do, etc. This helps the other person and his/her family to know a bit about your family, status and background you belong to. At times, this forms a vital part of your personality.
6. No room for errors.
The sanctity of marriage lies in two factors – truth and faith. Therefore, one must be true and correct about the information given in the profile. This is because, at the time of the meeting, it can be disastrous if the prospect found out that you have put up false information. Also, make sure that you are grammatically correct as it can also hinder the impression of your profile.
7. Partner Preferences
You can see that the matrimonial profile features two sections – personal and partner. Be honest about yourself and don’t exaggerate. When it comes to partner preferences, do not be unreasonable and keep high expectations. Be sensible and subtle enough while using your words.
8. Review your profile
Once you have created your profile, ask your close friends or family to go through it. A pair of fresh eyes can always tell you where you have gone wrong and can help you make the necessary changes. They can also give you inputs or positive attributes that enhance your profile outlook.
9. Research and Read
Before creating a matrimony profile, research well of how online matrimonial sites work. Take a look at the features, membership plans, privacy, etc. You can also take a look at the different profiles and note how they have created their profile. This will give you an idea of how you can create your matrimonial profile online.
10. Stay positive
One of the predominant factors while using Indian matrimonial sites online is to keep the faith and believe that someone is made for you. And, when the timing is right, everything will fall in place. So, don’t lose any hope if there are no matches or if there is any delay in responses. It might happen that your interest will reject your request or you won’t find anyone compatible. Be patient and hopeful that things will work in your favor.
